 The other day, I made homemade beet juice from a huge bag of fresh beets. If you have ever made homemade juice, then you know about the leftover pulp. So I finished making my juice from the beets and made about 8 cups of beet juice. That left me with a lot of beet pulp. While most people would toss the vegetable juice pulp, that is a bad idea.

 The pulp from making vegetable juice contains a lot of fiber and nutrients. This nutritious beet pulp can be used in so many recipes. So I froze almost all of the beet pulp and decided to use the rest to make plant-based beet burgers and beet waffles. You may have remembered last year when I received a new juicer and made homemade carrot juice. It was then that I discovered how to make carrot juice pulp waffles. So I then knew that the leftover beet pulp would make some delicious purple beet waffles. 

 If you don't own a fruit and vegetable juicer, check out this juicer. It is an amazing juicer at an amazing price.

Beet Waffles Are

+ Purple

+ Delicious

+ Nutritious

+ Loaded with fiber

+ A healthy breakfast option

+ Can be frozen

 I could not wait to make some beet pulp waffles. I just knew that the purple beet pulp would give the waffles a pretty purple color. Purple is my favorite color. Like the carrot waffles that I made last year, I knew that the beet pulp would add some awesome nutrition to the waffles but not add any beet taste. 

 I like making healthy waffles as they can be enjoyed in so many ways. You can eat the waffles for breakfast or as a healthy snack. I also love using homemade waffles for sandwiches. Waffles also make great buns for my homemade veggie burgers. If you want to add even more nutrition to waffles, then add a couple of scoops of protein powder to the waffle batter. I have found that Nuzest Clean Lean Natural Protein works best in healthy recipes. This vegan protein powder has the best texture for recipes and mixes smoothly into the batter.

The other day I made homemade carrot juice from a huge bag of fresh carrots. It was my first time using a vegetable juicer machine, so I was unprepared for the amount of carrot pulp that was in the fruit juicer machine. I knew that the process of turning carrots into carrot juice did not use the whole carrot and extracted the juice from the carrots but that was a lot of carrot scraps left. While most people just toss the carrot peels from the juicing machine, I am not one who likes to waste food. If you don't own a fruit and vegetable juicer, check out the best juicer for juicing that I have. It is an amazing juicer at an amazing price.

What can I make with carrot pulp?

 I love my Slow Masticating Juicer Machine for making cold press juice. My favorite vegetable to juice is carrots. Carrot juice is so sweet and loaded with nutrition. 

 After I enjoyed a cup of my DIY delicious sweet carrot juice, placed the rest in the fridge. I then saw all the leftover carrot pulp and knew that it could be used in recipes. I began to search for recipes for carrot pulp. Carrot pulp is loaded with fiber and nutrition. What I found was the usual grated carrot recipes like carrot cake and carrot muffins but one recipe stood out to me. That recipe was Homemade Carrot Juice Pulp Waffles. While the name of the recipe did not sound appealing, the photo of the carrot waffles looked so delicious and I love waffles. My family loves waffles too and I knew that adding carrot pulp would make them a healthy breakfast option.

Carrot pulp is loaded with fiber and nutrients

While carrot juice is loaded with awesome nutrition, many people toss the carrot pulp after making the homemade carrot juice recipe. What they don't realize is that the carrot scrapes or carrot pulp contains plenty of healthy fiber and nutrients like vitamin A. So it is a healthy addition to many recipes like carrot cake, quick bread, veggie burgers, and waffles. I have discovered that adding carrot pulp to recipes gives the food a nice orange color but not the taste of carrots. These homemade waffles do not taste like carrots! So you can serve them to your kids and they will never know that you put healthy carrots in the waffles. Even my husband enjoyed the carrot waffles and he usually does not eat my healthy foods. My husband even asked me to make another batch of the carrot juice pulp waffles.
